a very sweet couple.
And, yes, I wore red shoes.
I think the last pair of red shoes I wore were Buster Brown’s.
I found the little black dress on sale at Christmastime when I wasn’t really looking for a dress. The price was so right I brought it home.
But it needed something.
My sweet, beautiful and fun-loving friend, Susan told me to stop by and she would see if she had some accessories to help me dress-up the outfit.
Just for fun, I brought along a dress my niece loaned me. A sleek, long black dress with boa feathers that had to be the most amusing dress I have ever tried on. Yes, I looked like Cruella Deville and left tiny feathers whenever I moved about, but oh, what FUN!
After our laugh (and Susan’s suggestion I not wear the boa dress to Bible study) she shared a beautiful silk scarf that was perfect with the dress. So I didn’t have to continually fidget to keep the scarf in place, I tied a knot in front.
We agreed a long, silver necklace with chunky beads that her son bought for her worked too.
My sister, my sister-in-law and my daughter, Erin all suggested red shoes.
So off to DSW and guess what I found on the clearance shelf.
Not just a pair of red shoes but also, at 70% off, a red bag.
Still hesitant, I chatted with the lady at the register as I paid for the red shoes and a sensible pair of black patent leather shoes . This older, soft-spoken, reserved lady told me,
“Wear the red ones. There’s nothing like red shoes.”
And to perk up my dashing husband’s suit, Abbey and I found a new red tie for him!
You and your husband look great, and those red shoes are stunning. I bet everyone noticed them at the wedding. I had a pair of red Mary Jane shoes when I was in college, and it never failed when I wore them, someone always complimented me on them. Too bad they finally wore out. I've never found another red pair I've liked as much.
Thank you for visiting my blog tonight. Have a great weekend!
Love, love, love those red shoes! You look wonderful…John too!
I have red shoes, but not with a heel like that! I wish I could, but wouldn't get far!
You look lovely!
You and your husband make quite a statement. You look beautiful! Red shoes certainly finished the outfit perfectly. Weddings are so enjoyable.
Now that is "spunk" which is one of the charactertics I am rediscovering this year and one of my words…you show it here.
What beautiful pictures…what a beautiful event.
You two are such a lovely couple and you look absolutely smashing. Glad you went with the red shoes 🙂

You look so beautiful and I love the red shoes! And yes, the scarf looks really nice! Love the pictures!
You both looked great! xo P.S. I love red shoes, I had a pair in the 80'/early 90's – I wore them til they pretty much fell apart.
Love, love, love the red shoes. You look beautiful. Sounds like a fun night.
You look absolutely gorgeous. The pics of you and John are stunning. My mom was wearing red heels the first time my dad ever saw her and we always teased them about those red shoes!!!
You look lovely! And your husband, handsome! Love the shoes!
